Roman Catholic, Presbyterian and Jewish students comprise more than 40 per cent of the student population, figures recently revealed by the Chaplain’s office showed.
The Roman Catholics represent 1,711 or 17 per cent of the total, while the 1,212 Presbyterians on campus account for 12 per cent and 1,181 Jewish students comprise another 11.7 per cent of the religious population.
The top 10 religions also include Methodist. Episcopal, Lutheran. Baptist, Congregational (United Church of Christ), Mormon and Christian Science.
Fourth place on the religious affiliations list was held by 997 students who marked “none” on their religious affiliations cards. They were 9.9 per cent of the total.
The number of “jokers”—students whose reports were classified as being doubtful—dropped from 31 last semester to 25. The athiest listing dropped from 15 to 11.
The Roman Catholics increased their lead from last year when they represented 16.5 per cent of the total. Presbyterians remained the same, but the Jewish students increased .2 per cent from last year’s 11.5.

Medics Tell Of Findings During Meet
Three breakthroughs in medical science were announced recently by three USC professors at a meeting ol biologists in Atlantic City.
The studies have explained one of the major stumbling blocks in laboratory studies of cholesterol, linked arteriosclerosis with a circulating chemical substance produced by liver i cells and cleared the way forj studies of substances in thej blood stream and tissues.
Reports Research
Dr. Paul R. Patek, head of I the anatomy department, reported on his research in arteriosclerosis, while Dr. Sol Bernick, research associate in anatomy, discussed studies in vascular disease. Dr. Frederick Aladjem, associate professor of medical microbiology, and Michael Pilmiter, research assistant, reported on antibody studies.
Dr. Patek’s studies revealed that the effect of carbon which produces arteriosclerosis, was on the specialized cells of the liver rather than directly on blood vessels.
Thyroid Glands Dr. Bernick said the simplicl ty of producing vascular disease in rabbits and guinea pigs, as compared with hamsters and rats, indicated that there are differences in the thyroid glands of the two groups, and in the may the liver handles cholesterol.
Cholesterol, a fatlike substance found in all animal fats, is one of the casual factors in hardening of the arteries, Dr. Bernick explained.
Dr. Aladjem and Pilmiter reported that they had cleared the way for laboratory studies aimed at understanding how health - producing antibodies neutralize antigens, foreign substances that enter the blood stream.

Sociologist Gets Grant
A Guggenheim Foundation fellowship to study population trends in Morocco was received recently by Dr. Georges Sa-bagh, associate professor of sociology.
Dr. Sabagh, co-director of a Population Research Laboratory, will combine his Guggenheim grant with a sabbatical leave for a year starting Sept. 1. He will make his headquar ters at Rabat, Morocco, where he foresees rapid population changes.
En route he will spend some time at the National Institute of Demographic Studies in Paris which specializes in population research concerning North Africa.
Dr. Sabagh joined the USC faculty in 1952 with three degrees from the University of California. He has been a Social Science Research Council fellow, and formerly taught at California, Princeton and the University of Washington.
The university named its first distinguished public administrator in residence last week.
George A. Terhune, a retired Los Angeles City administrative officer, will serve in the School of Public Administration during the next academic year. Dr. Frank Sherwood, acting dean of the school, said.
The USC alumnus will also be a visiting professor of public administration. He will consult with students on careers and with faculty members on research and teaching problems, and will be a guest lecutrer in several classes.
Terhune is currently chairman of the Performance Budgeting and Unit Cost Accounting Committee of the Municipal Finance Officers Association of the United Sates and Canada.
He retired as Los Angeles City Administrative Officer in January after more than 30 years of service.
While studying for his bachelor’s degree in public administration, Terhune was the first editor of the Trojan in Govern ment, a School of Public Administration publication.
Soviet-China Split Exists, Expert Says
By ARLINE KAPLAN
The rumored ideological split between the Soviet Union and Communist China and the fam-j ines on the mainland definitely do exist, a Stanford history professor said Saturday.
Dr. Claude Buss, who spent six months in Hong Kong trying to get information on the conditions in Red China, told 200 international relations students, faculty members and alumni that there “is no doubt of the existence of the difference of opinion in ideological matters between Russia and China.”
Cautious Observer
But, Dr. Buss warned, even though the split exists, ideology is only one factor in the formation of foreign policy. He emphasized that the United States should be only a “cautious observer” in the split.
“We should be aware of the difference of opinion between the two countries, but if we try to drive them farther apart, they may move closer together to fight us,” he claimed.
Dr. Buss noted that he had several clues that the famines in the Peoples Republic of China do exist and are extremely severe.
Rations Reduced
“Rations have been reduced inside Red China, and there is an attempt to get the people to return to the farms,” he
said.
The former director of the School of International Relations recalled that while he was in Hong Kong one million two-pound packages of food were sent to the mainland through one post office.
Dr. Buss listed de-Staliniza-tion and nuclear war as the basic areas of ideological difference between the USSR and
Red China.
Stomp to Halt Troy 'Jitters'
Trojans will be given an opportunity to relieve “in between test” tension tonight at the semi-annual Inter-Dormitory Council dance.

Debaters Topple
Kings' Men, 3-0

Tribe Culture To Be Topic Of Professor
The structure of the Maori society of New Zealand will be discussed by a New Zealand anthropologist tonight at 8 in 226 FH.

native tribe at a lecture sponsored jointly by the departments of anthropology, psychology and society.

Moes and Deacon will meet the winner of this Saturday’s debate between North Texas State College and Kansas State Teachers College.
Oxford Challenges
If the two win the finals, they may also meet a team from Oxford University, since NBC recently received a note from the English university challenging the winning finalists to a title match.
The debaters took the affirmative against King’s College on the subject, “Resolved: that Congress should have the power to reverse decisions of the Supreme Court.”
They argued for a constitutional amendment on the grounds that the Court should not be allowed to impede the will of the people as expressed in Congress.
Close Win
“Saturday’s win over King’s College was close despite the 3-0 decision,” coach John Frazer remarked. “However,
ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITY
Freedom Imposes Duties
(Editor’s Note: This is the last in a series of five articles on academic freedom.)
By BARBARA EPSTEIN Daily Trojan Editor As with any demic freedom
At USC, official recognition of academic freedom is expressed in Section Eight of the Faculty Handbook, on “Policies and Procedures.” The sec-freedom, aca- tion was drawn up by the fac-imposes upon ulty some years ago and sub-
its recipients certain responsi- sequently approved by the bilitics which safeguard its Board of Trustees, very existence.
“Academic freedom and re-1 sponsibility go together,” Dr.
Tracy E. Strevey, vice president of academic affairs, explains simply.
“Academic freedom is a theme that has become a traditional phrase used to desribe the integrity of scholarship and of the search for knowledge,” Dr. Strpvey, an historian, notes. “It reflects in a sense, the integrity of a university and learning which supports and stands for learning and scholarly work. The faculty have come to accept this as part of their heritage — with the responsibility that
goes along with it, which they as persons must assume."
scholarship and objective inquiry.”
The Handbook emphasizes that the contest of ideas is basic to the concept of a university dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the promulgation of toleration and individual freedom and the encouragement of rational methods of thought and behavior.
“For under the traditions of democracy only those reasoned conclusions which emerge from the objective study of all controversial ideas can lead to & healthily functioning society,” the Handbook says.
But academic freedom does not give the privilege of unbridled license.
“Responsibility is rooted in recognized standards of the academic profession: conscien-search scholars must be freeltious scholarship, objective in-
According to the Handbook, academic freedom for teachers and research scholars is inherent in the very concept of a university in a democratic society.
“Academic freedom means that teachers should be given the liberty to examine, discuss, and evaluate phenomena in all fields of learning, subject only to conscientious scholarship and objective standards of inquiry,” the Handbook reads. .
“In like manner, the re-
to follow the paths of their investigations wherever they may lead, provided only that the research meets recognized standards of conscientious
quiry, judicious expression of opinion, a willingness to consider the ideas of others, and intellectual integrity,” the Handbook explains.
In the Handbook, the university recognizes the professor’s right to speak as a private citizen free from institutional censorship or discipline but notes that the faculty member “should exercise reasonable care to assure himself that his actions and utterances are not taken by others as representing the policy of his profession or his institution.”
In sum, the Section Eight comes up with an affirmation of faith in academic freedom:
“We sincerely affirm that the purpose of our democratic institutions are best served by an intelligent nurture of intellectual freedom in inquiry and expression.
“We have faith in the character ami integrity of the great majority of individual scholars, as well as in their purposes and methods. It is these attributes that should determine their right to con-
Registration For Summer Will Begin
Registration materials for the summer sessions will be made available today at the registrar’s office, registrar David Evans reported yesterday.
Applications must be either returned in person or mailed to the registrar’s office no later than May 19.
Students who do not register during this period must complete registration during the regular registration period beginning June 15, Evans said Regular registration will last through noon, June 18, for 12 week courses, and from June 21 through noon, June 23, for 6- and 10-week courses.
Receive Fee Bill Students may complete registration and receive a receipted fee bill by mail if a check payable to the University for the S32 per unit tuition fee accompanies completed registration material, Evans said.
All tuition and fees must be paid before students may attend classes, he reported.
“If payment does not accompany completed material, fee bills will be mailed prior to June 7, and are to be paid before the opening of the session,” the registrar explained.
Contact Office
“If a fee bill is not received students should immediately contact 1he Office of Receipts Audit, Owens Annex, 836 Childs Way.”
S t.u d e n t s registering for classes in the Graduate School of Business may pick up fee bills in 104 Bridge.
Mail registration should be addressed to the Office of Admissions and Registration, 3454
Maori Tribe
“The Maori are the indigen*
ous tribe of New Zealand, and are related to the tribes of Tahiti,” the visiting anthropologist explained. If the Kon Tiki theory is true .they might well be blood brothers to the American Indian.”
A native of Australia and a graduate of the University of Sydney, the professor studied under the noted anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski at the University of London.
Not Backward
“It is interesting to note that while the Maori are not backward or aboriginal in any way —many of them are doctors and and professional men—they still remain a very close knit and withdrawn group, preferring their own company to that of white men,” the anthropologist reported.
Dr. Piddington served with the British and Australian armies in various capacities of research and training. In 1946 he was appointed first reader in anthropology at the University of Edinburg, and in 1950 was called to the University of Auckland as first professor of anthropology.
Dr. Piddington is currently on sabbatical leave for research into the French-Cana-dian society in the close-knit tendencies of the Maori and the French-Canadian society.
think the fellows were the strongest they have been during the series.”
Frazer, elated over Saturday's victory, said the improved strength of the team has made him optimistic about chances in the finals.
The two landed the right to debate in the semi-finals by edging past the University of the Pacific in a 2-1 win March 31, when they took the quarter-finals negative side of the topic, "Resolved: that subsidies for college athletes should be abolished.”
Their initial victory came Feb. 17 when they shut-out the University of -Oregon 3-0, on the topic “Resolved: that marriage is undesirable for under graduates.” Moes and Deacon took the affirmative against Oregon.
USC Press Brings Out Two Books
Blue Key Slates Meet
Blue Key, men’s national honorary, will elect officers and select new members today at 4 at Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, 729 W. 28th St.
The organization will also arrange plans for an annual banquet. A list of new members and elected officers will be released after the meeting.
A book on a famous thinker and an autobiography of the late head of the School of Philosophy were recently published by the USC Press.
“Francis Bacon: His Career and His Thought” by Dr. Fulton H. Anderson and ‘The Forest of Yggdrasill” by the late Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling are the latest results of the USC press, otherwise known as the one-man operation of Dr. William H. Werkmeister, director of the School of Philosophy.
New Works
As supervisor of the operation, Dr. Werkmeister edited the two new works and took care of most of the details of ;etting them published. Some of his chores included evaluating and approving the manuscripts, raising money to pay for publication and making the final proofreadings.
Because USC does not have the necessary apparatus to actually print the books, the press work for the USC Press was handled by the University Publishers in New York, an outfit that is designed for precisely that purpose.
Dr. Werkmeister, who has written a number of books himself and edits ‘The Personalist,” a quarterly international review, has a special interest in the two books because of their relationship to USC and philosophy.
Developed Department
Dr. Flewelling, who died in 1960, was instrumental in developing the USC department of philosophy into a School of Philosophy during the years (1929-1945) he served as its director.
Dr. Flewelling also founded “The Personalist” which is devoted to philosophy, religion and literature, and was its editor for 40 years.
Dr. Anderson, head of the University of Toronto's philosophy department, formed the basis for his book on Bacon from a series of Arens berg Lectures, one of which he delivered at USC in 1957.
“The Forest of Yggdrasil’' derives its title from Dr. Fle-welling’s remarks on his own life.
Conductor Trotter Joins Musical Jury of Songfest

Past Songfest guest conduc-l| tor and perennial judge Johnj Scott Trotter will be one ofj seven musical “bigwigs” determining winners at this t year’s musical production.
Bill Heeres, Songfest Com-! mittee chairman, announced! yesterday that the popular ar-ranger-conductor will be among i the judges at the Hollywood; Bowl performances, May 12.
Trotter was guest conductor at the 1959 Songfest and has served as a judge at several of the student productions.
The conductor’s professional musical career began in 1936 when he came to Hollywood to score “Pennies from Heaven,” a film starring Bing Crosby. This job began a 17-year working association between Trotter and Crosby.
In 1954 the Trotter-Crosby association came to a elose when The Groaner decided he did no want to start a weekly
television show.
JOHN SCOTT TROTTER
. . . Songfest judge
At this point “Uncle John” joined "Lonesome George” on television.
In addition to arranging , George Gobel’s music, Trotter
also served as a “straight man’* to the puns and jests of the pint-sized comedian.
Trotter has been experimenting in sound.
Prompted by a fascination for stereo since 1958, he has released three albums through Warner Bros.
Trotter's business activities include the operation of “John Scott Trotter’s Antique Shop,” which developed out of his enthusiasm for 18th century English and American furniture.
. The musician is president of the Antique Dealers Association of Southern California.
A connoisseur of exotic and unusual recipes, Trotter has collected more than 300 cook books. In his travels he “collects” restaurants—places that are able to satisfy his sometimes unusual tastes.
Songfest tickets are on sale at the University Ticket Office, 209 SU, for $2.50, $2 and 51.50.

Maori Tribe
“The Maori are the indigen*
ous tribe of New Zealand, and are related to the tribes of Tahiti,” the visiting anthropologist explained. If the Kon Tiki theory is true .they might well be blood brothers to the American Indian.”
A native of Australia and a graduate of the University of Sydney, the professor studied under the noted anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski at the University of London.
Not Backward
“It is interesting to note that while the Maori are not backward or aboriginal in any way —many of them are doctors and and professional men—they still remain a very close knit and withdrawn group, preferring their own company to that of white men,” the anthropologist reported.
Dr. Piddington served with the British and Australian armies in various capacities of research and training. In 1946 he was appointed first reader in anthropology at the University of Edinburg, and in 1950 was called to the University of Auckland as first professor of anthropology.
Dr. Piddington is currently on sabbatical leave for research into the French-Cana-dian society in the close-knit tendencies of the Maori and the French-Canadian society.

USC Press Brings Out Two Books
Blue Key Slates Meet
Blue Key, men’s national honorary, will elect officers and select new members today at 4 at Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, 729 W. 28th St.
The organization will also arrange plans for an annual banquet. A list of new members and elected officers will be released after the meeting.
A book on a famous thinker and an autobiography of the late head of the School of Philosophy were recently published by the USC Press.
“Francis Bacon: His Career and His Thought” by Dr. Fulton H. Anderson and ‘The Forest of Yggdrasill” by the late Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling are the latest results of the USC press, otherwise known as the one-man operation of Dr. William H. Werkmeister, director of the School of Philosophy.
New Works
As supervisor of the operation, Dr. Werkmeister edited the two new works and took care of most of the details of ;etting them published. Some of his chores included evaluating and approving the manuscripts, raising money to pay for publication and making the final proofreadings.
Because USC does not have the necessary apparatus to actually print the books, the press work for the USC Press was handled by the University Publishers in New York, an outfit that is designed for precisely that purpose.
Dr. Werkmeister, who has written a number of books himself and edits ‘The Personalist,” a quarterly international review, has a special interest in the two books because of their relationship to USC and philosophy.
Developed Department
Dr. Flewelling, who died in 1960, was instrumental in developing the USC department of philosophy into a School of Philosophy during the years (1929-1945) he served as its director.
Dr. Flewelling also founded “The Personalist” which is devoted to philosophy, religion and literature, and was its editor for 40 years.
Dr. Anderson, head of the University of Toronto's philosophy department, formed the basis for his book on Bacon from a series of Arens berg Lectures, one of which he delivered at USC in 1957.
“The Forest of Yggdrasil’' derives its title from Dr. Fle-welling’s remarks on his own life.
